The Tigers dealt right-handed pitcher Jair Jurrjens to the Atlanta Braves for the then 32-year-old Edgar Renteria in 2007. Four years later, it appears the Tigers might be interested in bringing the prized prospect-turned-All-Star back to Detroit.

CBSSports.com reported late Wednesday the Tigers are among a handful of clubs that have inquired about Jurrjens, who has been the subject of several recent trade rumors. Baltimore, Boston, Toronto and Colorado have reportedly expressed interest in the 25-year-old, too.

Jurrjens started seven games with Detroit in 2007 and went 3-1 with a 4.70 ERA before being dealt with minor league outfielder Gorkys Hernandez to Atlanta. Since then, Jurrjens has been one of the most dominant young pitchers in the game.

Two years ago, he was third in the NL with a 2.60 ERA and went 14-10. He led the National League in wins and ERA at the All-Star break last year before a knee injury hampered him at the end of the season.

It remains unclear the type of package Braves general manager Frank Wren is seeking in return for Jurrjens, but a highly touted outfielder and several pitching prospects would probably be required.

If the Tigers were to extend an offer to Atlanta, the club has several trade chips at its disposal, including outfielder Delmon Young and pitching prospects Jacob Turner and Drew Smyly.

Multiple reports suggested earlier this week the Braves discussed a possible trade with Baltimore for outfielder Adams Jones. According to ESPN.com, the Orioles wanted Jurrjens, infielder Martin Prado and two prospects in exchange for Jones, but Atlanta wasn’t interested.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez told ESPN's Jim Bowden last month he wants an impact right-handed bat and Young would seemingly fit that mold. Prado’s offense took a hit last season, but his versatility makes him attractive as he can also play third base, another area of need for the Tigers.

The Braves will likely continue to show patience with Jurrjens and Prado, but all indications suggest they both remain available on the trade market.
